obama zeroed in on manufacturing? well, have a look at what our research department put together for us today. this graph tracks the loss of manufacturing jobs over the last 20 years. in 1998, there were nearly 18 million of these higher paying jobs, but we went off a cliff in 2001 and then came the great recession. by 2010, six million manufacturing jobs were gone. as you can see, lately, it is picking up, but slowly. the president's biggest proposal last night for working americans is something that the government wouldn't have to pay for: an increase in the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour, where it is now, to $9. 19 states and the district of columbia have a minimum wage that's already higher than the federal rate, but only one of them, washington state, pays $9 or more, as the president seeks. those who would have to pay for this had the reaction today that you might expect, and here's anthony mason. >> reporter: at cafe joey's italian restaurant in texas... >> was everything okay? >> it was perfect. >> reporter:

the president loves to blame the debt on president bush, but president obama created more debt in four years than his predecessor did in eight. the real cause of our debt is that our government is suspending 1 trillion dollars more than it takes in every year that's why we need a balanced budget amendment. the biggest obstacle to balancing the budget are programs where spending is locked in. one of these programs is medicare, it's especially important to me. they provided my father the care he needed to battle cancer and ultimately to die with dignity and it pays for the care my mother receives right now. i would never support any changes to medicare that would hurt seniors like my mother so anyone in favor of medicare exactly the way it is right now is in favor of bankrupting it. republicans have offered a detailed and credible plan to help save medicare without hurting today's retirees. instead of playing politics with medicare when is the president going to offer his detailed plan to save it? tonight would have been a good time for him to do it. of course we face other challenges as
